Last episode I caught up with Mike Stapleton Deputy Director-General Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads. He oversees the delivery of safety, regulatory and transactional transport services for the department.It was a privilege to have Mike on the show and I appreciated his openness to our conversation.You must listen to Episode 09 Program Executive Lens for insights to how a government executive leads and his enthusiasm about how technology is changing our lives.
Today I want to unpack status reporting and why there should be no surprises for Executives.

• Agree tolerances and report expectations
• Escalate early

Quote from my conversation with Mike ‘some project managers seem to suffer what I call optimism bias, I’ll solve this and get on with it’.
